SHELBY COUNTY, Alabama -- The U.S. Postal Service is instituting new hours of operation at the Vandiver Post Office in north Shelby County starting July 26.

The Vandiver Post Office will provide four hours of window service for customers each weekday from 8 a.m. to noon, in addition to continued Saturday hours of 8 to 11 a.m., according to a notice issued Friday from the Postal Service.

The Post Office will not continue afternoon window service between 1 and 4 p.m. on Monday through Friday.

"Current Saturday window service hours will not be reduced and access to delivery receptacles will not change as a result of the POST Plan realignment of weekday window service hours," according to the Postal Service.

The Postal Service held a community meeting on June 5 at the Vandiver-Sterrett Senior Center to gain input about proposed changes in operational hours at the Vandiver Post Office.

"The Postal Service has concluded the POST Plan review process for the Vandiver PO. Customer survey responses, input from the community meeting, and the operational needs of the Postal Service were considered in reaching the implementation decision," according to the Postal Service.

The notice states that Vandiver Post Office customers can access their mail receptacles 24 hours a day. Their Post Office Box mail will be available daily for pick-up by 10 a.m. Monday through Friday and at 10 a.m. on Saturday.
